Why this happened?
Germany considers bitcoin a currency. Pretty awesome right? Not so much. In order to trade bitcoins professionally you need a foreign exchange license which probably costs a lot of money. Germany considered localbitcoins as a foreign currency exchange and asked them to get licensed and legal. Localbitcoins instead opted to block the website from
German IP addresses (hint hint).
Bitpools is not working for me now, I'll try again later.
I was referring to this link:

http://www.bit-x.comIt's a debit card that you can hold a bitcoin balance and pay anywhere that Mastercard is accepted and it takes it out of your bitcoin balance. It charges a 1% fee however but might be useful in an emergency.
There are probably a lot of people in Berlin who can help. I live near Frankfurt where Bitcoin use is still very rare (maybe because the European Central Bank is there?).
